Indian police detain another man in Mumbai blasts probe
2006-08-05
MUMBAI: Indian police have detained an Islamic activist in the eastern state of Bihar in connection with last monthÂ’s train bombings in Mumbai, an official said on Saturday. Ziauddin Ansari, a local leader of the outlawed Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), was picked up from the Phulwari Sharif neighbourhood of Patna, BiharÂ’s capital, said a police officer. A team from the anti-terrorist squad of Mumbai police travelled to Patna to question Ansari, the officer said. The detainee, who is in his early 40s, was being taken to Mumbai later on Saturday for further interrogation, he said. AnsariÂ’s detention came a day after police arrested a security guard from a frontier village in IndiaÂ’s portion of Kashmir in connection with the July 11 bombings in Mumbai, which killed 207 people.
